Maybe I have a bad ear speaker. At max volume it is extremely difficult to hear someone while driving on the highway let alone in a noisy environment. And at max volume the speaker sounds like an aluminum can with strings. If you lower the volume two clicks, you get a more robust/fuller sound.
I am regretting sending my pixel 4xl back for a credit. I am ok with the remainder of the phone, but I literally have to use a headset almost 100% of the time unless it's a quiet environment.
Anyone else experiencing this or is my phone defective?
Not anyone. EVERYONE! [emoji3525]

The Google Pixel 5 uses an headphone speaker that is under the glass (similar to Kyocera's Sonic Sound) I've noticed it too.
However, this is how the phone is built.

So, as you all know, our Moto X has a pretty damn loud speaker.
I, however, am having a problem with mine. For example, I'll start up Pandora on max volume, and the music will be really loud, but shortly after starting playing, the volume will decrease, HOWEVER, the phone will still display max volume. This happens almost every time I use the speaker, whether it be for calls or music.
Is anyone else having this issue? I NEED a loud speaker that works. HTC One Play Edition is calling me...
Perhaps mine is defective.
*Oh, and my volume just increased and then decreased while on my desk, and I didn't even touch it.
Disregard. Turn out the phone is defective.
It literally just took a hot steamy $hit on me, and Motorola customer support confirmed it defective.
I just recently bought a Nexus 6, and not to long after I bought it my phones volume started to get very low. When I was on a phone call and switched to speaker, the phone starts the audio off as low, but then gets higher after a few seconds. Now when I listen to music or watch netflix, the audik starts off high at full volume, but then goes very low as if the phone had a Automatic Leveler. Is there anyone way to fix this ?

you are on stock? i didnt experience it on stock, but did on aosp. on aosp its a bug, that was fixed by a few developers.
Im pretty shocked by the nexus 6 speakers.
1. Speaker phone only works on the top speaker.
2. Anything from the lowest volume till about 2/3rds is nicley scaled then it just jumps in loudness in the last 3 to 4 clicks.
3. The stock sound is shocking bad ! Sounds like they forgot to balance bass and treble.
4. My headphone jace only seems to work with some jacks, an aux lead refuses to work in all 3 of my work vans and my old HTC headsets but works with iphone headsets and some of my aony headsets ( these all worked in my N5 )
5. Where the freekin' EQ ! Really google cant make a EQ letalone a good camera app !!!!
I am on stock. No root, no unlocked bootloader.
The funny thing is, when in place my hand over the front camera lens, and curved around the front, the volume goes back up as if there was a auto level function. If I take my hand off of that speaker, it goes back down because I am in a quite room. Something's not right with that..
I'm not rooted and I have similar issues. When I get phone calls or texts the volume starts out really low then gets high and I can't stand it. Seems to have just started doing this. Same thing when I'm talking to someone, I get a call, I answer it and I can barely hear them then 1 or 2 seconds later it's fine. Driving me crazy. Would love to get this fixed.
Is anyone else experiencing distortion with their external speaker? My ringtones begin to distort around 1/4 volume and very noticeable 1/2 and up. Does the same for notifications. Not as noticeable during videos and music but still present.
Just trying to figure out if mine is partying for the course or a dud. Thanks in advance for any input.

If you hold your finger or hand very close to speaker, mine has distortion too.
Hand placement doesn't really seem to affect it...
no distortion at all on mine.
I noticed when playing louder videos or when im on speakerphone and the person is talking there is a bit distortion in the sound sort of a tiny bit of fuzz and i noticed this also on my egde plus and a bunch of store models as well can anybody confirm? I mean its not bad but still my phones are $700-$800.
Im Tmobile
My speakers sounds (imo) awful, it's distorted and warbly (sp?). For a phone with such good headphone audio I don't understand why the speaker (or in the surround sound mod) both speakers sound so bad. They both have that issue for external audio, haven't tested call audio yet because I never really take calls and the one I did I forgot to notice.
No issues here. Probably dirt getting in with the speaker, the grill holes are pretty sizable.

Not minutes after I opened the box. I THINK I may have a lead as to why it's bad. If you listen closely and FEEL the phone. It appears to me that the low notes are resonating with the glass back panel (or something/everything else, whatever it is) and causing vibrations that both warble and distort the sound and speaker(s). I could certainly be wrong, but that's what I'm hearing. As for a fix, I haven't a clue, if I'm wrong and it's software, I haven't a clue. I don't have near enough time to do non-guided digging into this. Only what little listening I do with speakers. (Considering I'd rather use what comes out of my CXN).
Distortion
I too have distortion on my external speakers. Exactly the same symptoms..
I will be very interested in hearing about a fix.
Cheers
Hello! I noticed the bottom speaker sounds a bit louder than the top one, specially with higher frequencies. Is this specific to my unit or is this due do a difference between the speakers in this phone? Anyone can relate?

Be aware that stereo signals might affect your perception of them. Try turning on mono audio in accessibility settings.
As far as physical differences go, they are indeed different in size. You can see it here:
?t=6m1s
After 2 weeks of owning this phone, I just noticed it now. Bottom speaker does sound louder than a top speaker. So disappointed to find out that both speakers aren't equal I bought this phone mainly for front stereo speakers.
I think Top speaker is an earphone doubling as speaker. Bottom speaker is a dedicated speaker.
I noticed something strange. After turned off the phone for a few minutes and then turn it back on, now both speakers sound balanced just like when i just got the phone and had not noticed this issue until now. Please try turning off the phone, not restart.

Software problem
Not hardware
Speakers hardware are great
I hope Asus releases updates that allows user to adjust the balance of stereo. I think it's also the stereo frequencies in each content. some music, video, and games are noticeably louder on bottom speaker, and some are louder on top speaker.
I just turn on mono audio when the speakers are in use. The stereo separation doesn't work well enough for me, and it just sounds fuller.
I'm also aware that the phone has 2 vibration motors, but I noticed the vibration is much stronger at the bottom, anyone noticed this?

I can definitely relate to this. But overall, I'm very satisfied with the quality of the speakers.
Do y'all have your bottom speaker blown out or distorted?
guys Ive owned several stereo phones before and almost all of them sound differently, you just need to turn on Mono audio as other's have mentioned too.
this phone has great speakers, reminds me of my HTC 820 boomsound speaker which were pretty loud back in the day, but this is loud and clear!
Bottom Speaker sounds louder
@Mike845 Thanks for posting this issue as I am also facing the same issue. I am skeptical as this being a hardware issue because I saw jerryrigeverything's video on YouTube and top speaker is indeed smaller than the bottom one.
I want to know that are the top bottom speaker should be of same intensity or is there a problem with my unit. Also if buttom speakers are loud than top one and there is no issue then I am very angry with Asus as one of the reason for buying this phone was dual front firing stereo speakers.
For all the other folks, I request you to check your device for this issue(balance) using this link youtu.be/2ZrWHtvSog4 . Here you'll get perfect idea if speakers are balanced or not.
Please help me so that I know that if this is an issue.

Yes at high volume bottom speaker does sound distorted.
Tweak for balancing speaker audio
Okay, first of all switch off and reboot (not restart) your phone.
Then go to AudioWizard, switch to normal mode if not already then don't exceed the volume beyond 10 notch. Now check, speakers would be balanced and clear.
It becomes unbalanced only after 10 notches where only bottom speakers volume gets increased and not top. Also beyond 10 there could be distortion in bottom speaker.
Hope it helps.
Also in Asus ROG Phone III
It is on Asus Rog Phone 3 too, very disappointed. With black crush issue.

I don't know how YouTubers are saying that Rog has got the best display ever, paid reviews probably. These YouTubers are taking people for granted.
Asus's image processing is just ****, black crush, red tint and what not.
I don't know why I went with this when OnePlus 7 pro was equally priced. Regretting my decision.
Hello,everyone...
I am using Mi A2 phone. Today when I put backside of the phone near to my ear I heard sounds like high-pitched whistle or crackling coming from there. But the sound is so low that it is audible only in a quiet place without any other sounds around and only when you stick your ear to the phone)). By the way the phone is new(it is just 2 month and I never dropped it)
I am wondering are there someone who faced the same situation?
I wanna know my phone have problem or it is normal
